On 21 February 2008, ARBURG opened its new American Technology Center California in Irvine, CA.
 
The event commenced with a welcome by Subsidiary Manager, Friedrich Kanz who introduced Michael Hehl, Spokesperson for the ARBURG Management Team. Michael Hehl, together with his sister, Juliane Hehl, and Sales Managing Director Helmut Heinson had travelled to Irvine especially for the occasion. Michael Hehl formally started the grand gala opening with a speech underlining the role of the Technology Center and the importance of the North American market to ARBURG.
 
This was followed by a presentation by Bill Carteaux, President and CEO of Society of the Plastics Industry (SPI), who then joined Juliane Hehl, Michael Hehl, Helmut Heinson, Friedrich Kanz and Regional Manager Jürgen Giesow in the ribbon cutting ceremony to officially open the facility.

The new building in Irvine will cater for customers from California and the entire West Coast and has around 5,500 square feet of usable space. This means there is plenty of room for offices, stores, a training room and a demonstration room that can be equipped with six ALLROUNDERs. In addition to its function as a forum for showcasing products, the demonstration room also serves as a place where customers can perform tests, try out a new mould for example, or receive practical assistance in dealing with injection moulding problems arising in practice.
 
Practical customer training courses can also be hosted here. A 16-person training room is available for dealing with theoretical aspects. The company is also expanding its range of services in the areas of application technology consultation and project planning for tailor-made, highly automated production cells.
